Hi there,
It seems like I've had some pretty exceptional moms on the podcast recently, and this week is no different!
Whitney Singletary is a single mom of two young boys and sells some
really unique nut-flavored cookies in Berkeley, CA.
What struck me the most about this interview is Whitney's level of persistence. She has faced plenty of obstacles along the way, but she won't let anything stop her!
Whitney shared lots of stories in this episode. For instance:
- How someone's attempt to stop her business (by calling the cops) massively backfired
- When she sold cookies from her driveway to pay rent for the storefront that she couldn't even use
- How she lost the use of one of her arms for 6 months (as a mom of two boys, with a business)
- How her great-great-great-great grandmother made her peanut butter cookies literally from scratch
And she is the first podcast guest I've had that produces hundreds of baked goods per week
without using an electric mixer! That's right: she mixes everything with a fork, just like her great-great-great-great grandmother did.
I do a lot of research on my guests before each interview, but Whitney kept surprising me during this one. What she has accomplished is pretty remarkable!
Listen to Episode 47: Do Whatever It Takes with Whitney SingletaryUntil next week,
David
